Group Policy: Replace Or Enhance?

摘要

Active directory compliance tools promise improved visibility and streamlined management, but vendor approaches vary widely. Larger suites attempt to address multiple compliance requirements across AD or the enterprise as a whole, while more targeted offerings are available to meet needs ranging from network access control to identity management to log aggregation and everything in between. Products that focus on Group Policy generally take one of two paths: supplementing Group Policy via extensions that address the most common gaps, often accompanied by an enhanced GUI and reporting capabilities, or replacing Group Policy entirely with a collection of deployment and monitoring tools.
